THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF AIR ENVIRONMENT SAFETY

Tion’s active HEPA filters capture and destroy all pathogenic microorganisms, including UV-RESISTANT ONES (air decontamination + inactivation). This completely eliminates the risk of hazardous microorganisms entering the facility. Such results cannot be achieved using regular fabric HEPA filters and UV lamps. Besides, the HEPA filter removes smells and harmful gases from the air, thus ensuring compliance with the norms of maximum permissible concentration of hazardous substances. The Tion filters are designed for operation in the presence of smoke, smog, high dust content; they are also absolutely safe and do not require special disposal procedures.

SIMPLE MAINTENANCE

Instead of a separate set of filters and decontamination sections, air cleanliness is provided by a single Tion device, which features an automatic service alarm system. This significantly improves reliability and simplifies the maintenance procedure.

COST SAVINGS ON PART REPLACEMENT

The cost of replacing Tion filters is 5 to 10 times less than fabric and paper HEPA filters and UV lamps, and at the same time, replacement frequency is 2 to 3 times lower due to their increased capacity. This provides significant savings for consumable materials and maintenance of the air purification and decontamination equipment. This is possible due to the unique properties of Tion filters. The material in active HEPA filters has a special porous and rigid structure, which is resistant to mechanical impact and damage. It ensures a low pressure drop and high dust capability (and a patent-protected manufacturing technology).

ELECTRIC POWER SAVING

Tion consumes many times less electric power than UV lamps. The pressure drop over the Tion filters is several times lower than over fabric HEPA filters (this reduces power consumption of the ventilation motors). This reduces power consumption and provides significant saving on the electricity consumed by the ventilation system.

HEPA depth filter (3).Combined with the electrostatic unit (2), ensures trapping of particles, aerosols and microorganisms, with a H11–Н14 filtering efficiency class. Ozone produced in the electrostatic unit (2) inactivates (destroys) all microorganisms on the HEPA depth filter (3). The HEPA depth filter (3) is always sterile due to the inactivation of microorganisms.

The combined action of units (2) and (3) creates a synergistic effect that provides the highest efficiency of filtering and inactivation (destruction) of microorganisms with the least pressure drop and power consumption. This guarantees sterility and safety with minimum operation costs.

Harmful gases removal

The catalytic adsorption unit (4) provides deep air purification by removing gases, harmful substances and smells due to a special mixture of sorbents and catalysts. Due to its high durability, it doesn’t need replacing all through its service life. The ozone is completely destroyed by the catalytic adsorption unit (4) and does not enter the room.

Technology background

Tion is a comprehensive purification and decontamination technology that not only allows air to be filtered with the highest efficiency and provides complete inactivation (destruction) of all microorganisms, but also removes the main harmful substances in gas form. The Tion technology is based on the combined work of filters, which effectively removes all impurities from the air. This enables all air purification and decontamination problems to be solved, including those that could not be managed using traditional methods, such as fabric or paper HEPA filters, UV bactericidal sections, sorption, electrostatic filters or combinations of these. The Tion equipment as a whole complies with healthcare regulations requirements.

Expensive service (replacement lamp essentially equal to the cost of the device).

High power consumption.

The effectiveness of disinfection (bactericidal efficiency) is constantly decreasing.

Decontamination means the removal of microorganisms from the air. Decontamination efficiency is defined as the ratio between the number of living microorganisms at the unit outlet to the number of microorganisms at the unit inlet (Effdecont = (1 – Cout/Сin)*100%). However, air decontamination can be performed by direct bactericidal action, as well as by trapping microorganisms on filters. Inactivation, on the other hand, reflects the destruction of microorganisms captured on filters. Inactivation efficiency is defined as the speed of microorganism death (destruction, loss of propagation ability) on the filters. It is defined as the ratio of the number of living microorganisms on the filter before bactericidal action to the number of living microorganisms after bactericidal action, over a specified time span (Effinact = (1 – Сend/Сstart)*100%

What is the difference between an active Tion filter and a HEPA filter?

Due to active HEPA filtering, Tion equipment achieves a high filtration class (H11 – H14); however Tion filters have a lower pressure drop, feature higher dust-capturing capacity, better mechanical robustness, and a much cheaper than regular fabric or paper HEPA filters. Additionally, the Tion active filtering process not only removes particles and microorganisms, but also inactivates, that is destroys, microorganisms captured on the filters. Thus, Tion replacement elements always stay sterile and do not require special disposal. Passive (regular) HEPA filters do not inactivate the microorganisms, which means they accumulate on the filters during use, thus impairing the ventilation system’s general biocontainment. Tion active HEPA filtering also removes harmful gases and smells, which sets the Tion active filters apart from regular HEPA filters.

Why is equipment based on UV lamps less effective than Tion?

The main problem of recirculation units and ducted UV decontamination units is the lack of microorganism filtration (capture).The lack of filtration significantly reduces the decontamination efficiency of such devices, since the microorganism passes the UV lamp within a second, and the radiation exposure is often insufficient for its inactivation (especially when taking into account the difference in lethal UV dosage required for different microorganisms). Additionally, UV lamps contain mercury, which enters the room if the lamp is damaged, and poisons patients and staff; UV lamps require a special and expensive disposal procedure, routine account logging, as well as regular cleaning and calibration. Tion active HEPA filtering technology is free of all these disadvantages, which makes it more effective, simple and cost-efficient.

What is the difference between Tion and photocatalysis technologies?

It is true that a photocatalytic unit can inactivate microorganisms captured on the catalyst’s surface. However, in reality, existing photocatalytic units have a low rate of capturing (filtering) microorganisms, and a significant number of microorganisms pass through this unit. Hence, it has a low decontamination rate. Many manufacturers avoid this problem by installing devices that have a high capture (filtration) class before the photocatalytic units. But in this case it should be understood that the majority of microorganisms will settle on the filters and remain active, thus not entering the photocatalytic unit and not being inactivated. Thus, existing photocatalytic units either lack inactivation on the filters, which is contrary to SanPiN requirements, or have a low filtration (and air decontamination) efficiency. Additionally, photocatalytic units always contain UV lamps, and this significantly increases power consumption and maintenance service costs. The Tion active HEPA filtering technology is free of these disadvantages, since they always provide high-efficiency filtration in accordance with the regulations, and also inactivate microorganisms on the filters. At the same time, Tion units do not contain UV lamps, which significantly reduces equipment maintenance costs.

What ensures a lower pressure drop across Tion filters as compared to regular fabric or paper HEPA filters?

The presence of an electrostatic aerosol charging module in Tion units, means that high filtration classes are achieved using a cheap, highly porous, nonwoven polypropylene-based material, instead of an expensive, dense fiberglass material, used in regular fabric and paper HEPA filters. These filters are our company secret and are produced with our own equipment. Ultimately, the Tion replacement filters feature a lower pressure drop, higher dust capacity, and lower operation expenses than standard passive HEPA filters.

How can the energy efficiency of a medical facility’s ventilation system be improved?

A significant volume of air supply is needed (up to 10 000 m3/h for each room). If these volumes of air are fed directly from the outside, it requires significant motor power consumption for heating all this air volume in the winter and cooling it in the summer. This is why air recirculation within one room is allowed, providing that the minimum outdoor air volume is supplied according sanitation standards. The rest of the air can be recirculated (taken directly from the room in use) and processed using high efficiency filters (H11-H14). Thus, a ventilation system’s efficiency can be improved by using air recirculation, with decontamination and purification.
